An Adventure I'd Like to Go On


This is a really interesting question seeing as how I love stories with a heavy focus on action and/or adventure, but I definitely wouldn't venture to say that I'm a particularly adventurous or daring dude myself. I feel most happy in the comfort of my own home for sure, but if there's one verse I can picture myself having a blast in is probably Journey to the West. I've really gotten into the novel as of late after playing Black Myth: Wukong which is probably my game of the year at this point, and I can't help but find myself endeared to the protagonist Sun Wukong and his goal of preserving his freedom from a draconic and Kafkaesque heavenly governing assembly. I really see myself in him (no, not because he's a monkey you racist) and with his vast assortment of powers and literal stacked layers of immortality, nothing really poses a serious threat to him despite the perilous nature of his pilgrimage. He's having fun throughout most of the story because he's a god and can get away with toying with his enemies. I think that's really cool, and if for whatever reason I could step into his shoes, even just momentarily, I feel like I would clean house in the Chinese pantheon. I'm dropping everybody off. Not the Buddha, though. That's my guy. 


Onward still with this chore of a group project. My teammates are chopped liver, for sure, and the source material bores me. I still don't understand how this voice memo is meant to be recorded, and I'm sure I'll end up carrying most of the weight by my lonesome. Why must God bedevil me with such hardships?
